Art, Coffee, Tea and Blogs


Creating art, looking at art, watching shows about art and artists fills a good portion of my day. Hopefully you have something that fills your day with joy. Here are some great links for artists and art lovers. I hope you enjoy them.

nycartmap02-768x665Hyperallergic, an incredible art blog, says..."New York City has over 1,000 monuments across the five boroughs, and the new NYC Public Art Map and Guide plots them on an interactive map. The digital interface, recently launched by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, is searchable by zip code and address, and includes both permanent and temporary installations." So here's a link to the site: http://bit.ly/2aLQ8Za




BasquiatWhile we're still in the the television dull drums I thought I'd provide a link to Widewalls.ch and their listing of some great art movies (even though they didn't mention Mr. Turner) Here's the link http://www.widewalls.ch/art-history-movies/Pollock




The Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/) ran a story on an unbelievable flea market find and what the couple did!! Here's the link http://bit.ly/2aOcCao
Maria long-lost 500-year-old engraving by the German Renaissance master Albrecht Durer has been found on sale for a few euros in a French flea market.




And this interesting art tool is just to much fun not to mention. www.drawlucy  Its a new Camera Lucida. ( I have no financial interest)DRaw Lucy

Art, Coffee, Tea and Blogs



August is a hot month. DUH, anyway I tend to get distracted easily when the heat goes up and often find myself redesigning my studio. And cleaning it up. It gives me a chance to look at some of the stuff I'm working on along side finished work. It also has become a time when I wander the internet even more than usual. So if you're a regular reader you should enjoy the next group of stuff.

This is a list of gadgets that I think I'll put on my holiday gift list. Feel free to choose one for me.Wallet-Ninja3-1024x682



Ever wonder how to make the PERFECT cup of coffee. These guys think they've got it mastered.

I have no financial connection to Golden. They are one of the many acrylics I use. What I have found interesting enough to blog about is their on line color mixing chart. Sometimes you just need a little nudge  for a color when you're in the middle of working and this does it.

That will do it for me and remember you can reach me at dkolberg@thewoventalepress.net
